:-D ...
sorry.
fixed.

I added NVIDIA drivers 340 and 304.
But I will have to test them

I'll need to search for some suitably ancient hardware, before I can test nvidia-driver-304.
Whenever I use nvidia-driver-340 (eg GT210 cards) I need to include the Option "IgnoreABI" "1" as included in a previous suggestion.
Will be interesting to see whether you experience same result.

I was wondering why this option.. I'm also gonna try during this week-end.
 
I've just added a second script : "mirror_repositories.sh" which automates the local mirroring and maintenance of the 'latest' and 'quarterly' repositories, ensuring a complete local copy of all packages for difficult times (such as build issues).
It uses the same framework as freebsd-desktop.sh (you simply comment or uncomment the functions at the end)
A "freebsd-desktop_local.sh" has also been added, based on a local mirroring (mirror_repositories.sh).
 
Version 340 is in maintenance mode. If it is no longer ABI compatible with current servers, shouldn't NVIDIA be... "maintaining" it?
It should only require a recompile on their end to match the current Xorg expected binary layout.

NVIDIA no longer recompiles older drivers (340/304) to follow changes in Xorg's ABI.
Using the IgnoreABI option seems essential.
